Review: WunderRadio for iPhone
[13-10-2008]

WunderRadio competently streams countless terrestrial radio stations to an iPhone or iPod touch.

The original iPhone and iPod touch were terrific devices for playing music you’d placed on them. With the advent of the App Store, they’re now capable of playing music streamed from such online music services as Pandora, Last.fm, and AOL. But what about terrestrial radio? Weather Underground’s WunderRadio has you covered.

This $6 application for the iPhone and iPod touch works in league with RadioTime, the Dallas-based service that provides the means for streaming terrestrial radio content to devices such as Logitech’s Squeezebox and applications such as Rogue Amoeba’s Radioshift. WunderRadio uses RadioTime’s services to locate and deliver streaming radio to your iPhone or iPod touch. (Downloading this content is not supported.) Additionally, it can play audio weather reports from Weather Underground and feeds from emergency scanners located throughout the U.S.

The interface is a cinch to navigate. Along the bottom you find three icons—Stations, Favorites, and Now Playing. Tap Stations at the bottom of the screen, and you’ll see three categories—Weather Underground, RadioTime, and ScanAmerica.us. Thrilling as listening to weather and police reports may be, you’re going to spend most of your time listening to RadioTime stations, and WunderRadio makes them easy to find.
